There are three chimneys, a kiln door and a kiln stove at the end of the kiln. The stove is equipped with iron bars, which can mix bricks and tiles and cannot use coal as fuel, so it is an intermittent kiln.
6. Later it was changed into a round kiln. A chimney is symmetrically installed at the door (that is, behind the kiln), and the height of the kiln top is raised to 3.5m above the chimney platform, which can increase the pumping force and accelerate the roasting. A rectangular furnace (length 1. 1 m, width 0.8 m) is installed on the kiln door, and bars are baked in the furnace to supply oxygen reasonably and save fuel, and coal can be used as fuel. The kiln door is set at the height of 1.5m on the side of the kiln body, which is convenient for operators to enter and leave the kiln. It also belongs to intermittent kiln.
